That helps.  We probably need to extend some of the tutorials, as well
(or add some) to show people how to get started testing after running
grokproject.

I consider the "take over the root" use case to be aimed at solo
developers:  they don't need or want to think about any machinery
outside the application, including use cases like adding test / staging
instances, or mixing multiple applications within a single appserver.
Such use cases are more interesting when the project gets "bigger,"
